seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel. Lifetime Members 5,368 Member For: 19y 6m 1d Gender: Male Location: The 8th Dimension Posted 09/08/08 04:37 AM Share Posted 09/08/08 04:37 AM After trialling the RACE Chrono program on my phone doing some performance runs, I pulled up to a servo and could hear a bad exhaust leak.On friday I pulled off the heat shielding I checked the manifold, and turbo mount bolts and found a few to be loose, Tightened everything back up and started the car and found the leak was still there.I left the car to cool over night and this morning poked around again, Checked between the Intake and exhaust housings and this is what I found. Two bolts half way out only stopped by the banjo bolts and one completely out, luckily when the bolt fell out it got caught between a banjo bolt and the housing otherwise I would have to have found a new one. Had great fun tightening these back up as there is not a lot of room and some sharp bits to get caught on, but its all good now, Tested and no leaks. While poking around I also found that the dump mounting bolt was also missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford manual calls this a 'pencil brace' and I got a replacement bolt from Fraud for about 5 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
